The 'Which Side Are You On' meme template, frequently featuring an illustration of Bloods and Crips gang members standing opposite each other, serves as a digital litmus test for internet subcultures. While the underlying imagery references real-world gang rivalries, the meme’s digital life is purely ironic, used to force a choice between two opposing but often inconsequential options. It gained massive traction on platforms like Twitter and Reddit in the early 2020s as a way to spark engagement and debate over everything from fast food preferences to coding languages. By juxtaposing gritty street aesthetics with mundane choices, the template creates a humorous sense of urgency and tribalism around everyday topics.
